RESUMO -Avaliou-se o desenvolvimento do intestino médio, do fígado e do pâncreas de girinos de rã-touro (Rana catesbeiana) alimentados com ração comercial com 22, 24 ou 28% de proteína bruta (PB). Utilizaram-se 360 girinos com 15 dias de vida, provenientes de mesma desova, distribuídos em caixas com 30 L de água, em densidade de 1 girino/L, mantidas a 25°C (±1ºC), constituindo um delineamento experimental completamente casualizado, com quatro repetições. A partir do 9 o dia e até o 48 o dia de alimentação, os órgãos (intestino médio, fígado e pâncreas) de três girinos de cada grupo foram fixados em solução histológica de Bouin para coloração por hematoxilina e eosina. A presença de tecido conjuntivo extremamente frouxo nas alças intestinais dos girinos sugeriu situação provisória para a mudança da arquitetura intestinal após a metamorfose.Nesse período, observou-se aumento no número de células caliciformes e de microvilosidades e, no 25 o dia, verificou-se a presença de células hepáticas, com arranjo glandular mais compacto, o que sugere funcionalidade e confirma os melhores resultados de desempenho obtidos a partir desse período nos girinos alimentados com as rações com maior nível protéico. No 35 o dia, observou-se a estrutura do fígado bilobado, com sinais de desorganização, o que indica rarefação celular protéica, decorrente de mau aproveitamento da proteína da ração. Novos estudos são necessários para continuidade aos esclarecimentos sobre as características fisiológicas de rãs-touro na fase de girino.Palavras-chave: histologia, nutrição animal, ranicultura Histological evaluation of midgut, liver and pancreas of bullfrog tadpoles fed commercial diets with three levels of crude protein ABSTRACT -The development of midgut, liver and pancreas bullfrog tadpoles (Rana catesbeiana) fed commercial diets with 22, 24 or 28% of crude protein (CP) was evaluated. A total of 360 tadpoles, 15 days old, from the same spawning, was allotted to 30 L-boxes, using a density of 1 tadpole/L, kept at 25 °C (±1°C). A completely randomized experimental design with four replications was used. Three tadpoles of each group were collected from 9 th to 48 th day of feeding, and organs (midgut, liver and pancreas) were fixed in Bouin's solution and staining by Hematoxilyn and Eosine. The presence of extremely loose connective tissue in the intestinal loops of tadpoles suggested temporary situation for the change of the architecture after metamorphosis. During this period, there was an increase in goblet cells and microvilli numbers, and in the 25th day, it was observed presence of liver cells, with more compact glandular arrangement, suggesting functionality and confirms the best performance results obtained from that period in tadpoles fed diets with the highest protein level.On the 35th day, it was observed structure of bilobade liver, with signs of disorganization, which indicates rarefaction cell protein, due to poor use of dietary protein. Further studies are needed to continue the clarification of the physiological characteristic...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
